Very good week so far with Rovers beating a top team in League 1 4-0.
But Bristol City just fielded a team that included the snake, Kasey Palmer, O'Leary, Eliasson, Smith, Baker, Watkins and Adelakun in their U23s and managed to lose 4-3 to Nottingham Forest U23s.
Unlucky da sh** x

I dont think we are in any position to poke fun at them and their youth setup is actually doing well at the moment. Joe Bryan was sold to the Prem for about £6million last summer and Bobby Reid went for about 10million. Further back they lost Herbie Kane to Liverpool and Jacob Maddox to Chelsea. They recently had their 27th loan this season out of the club and 4 or 5 of their youngsters are currently being watched by Prem clubs. This season their youth product Lloyd Kelly also made his debut for the England U21 side. |

Thanks awfully for the up to date news on the 82ers youth set up. I guess I should feel so much more invigorated because of it.... However I'm afraid you lost me at "I don't think".... |

Ironically you were advocating signing Mo Eisa back in January, a player that has been confined to their U23s for most of the season. I just find it bit embarrassing and desperate having a dig at an U23s defeat. Even more so tonight as it was against a team that contained a couple of full internationals and players that have been transferred for over £22milion in their careers. But, whatever floats yours and the original poster's boat and all that. |

On their cringeworthy thread about us it's like feeding time in the monkeys enclosure by posting the odd one liners, very similar to the Mo Eisa on loan post which was actually a question but meant with the same intent.. Okay its a little childish but hey it floats my boat and all that. |

All a bit insecure really, reading there forum, personally couldn’t think of worse way to waste my time. Hard enough following our boys, most of this season.

I enjoy seeing City lose, but to post about their U23 team losing and actually knowing who was playing? That's a new one. As pirate said, whatever floats your boat, but having digs at their U23 team in my eyes is just sad.

In our current position, on and off the pitch, we are a million miles behind City and trying to make little jibes is embarrassing - rather than rile their fans we are actually giving them more ammunition to mock us.
Maybe one day we'll be back at the same level as them but it will probably be years or decades. Until then we should probably just keep our heads down and concentrate on what we are doing.

Somebody taking a cheap shot at them regardless of the thread content or somebody who knows their reserve team and applicable transfer fees of the opposition in an U23 game. But your point is valid and perhaps I should try that little bit harder to resist trying to wind up the poor little mites. See what I did there.. Best regards Blueblood1883.... |

The difference with pirate is that he clearly takes a wide-ranging interest in all youth development across this country and beyond, which naturally would include taking in knowledge about City's development squad. There's a difference between that and posting a thread mocking City because their youth team lost a match. Frankly I don't care that much if our development squad loses, let alone if theirs does. But that's only my opinion. |

As much as I hate everything about the 82ers, we really haven't got anything to take the water about, thankfully I'm old enough to remember when we did.

But that's only my opinion. Spot on Jomo. I watch a lot of non-league football and my second team have taken at least 5 or 6 of their players on loan from them this/last season and I've noticed several others join clubs at the same level. I always keep an eye on their development squad through The Post and elsewhere to keep an eye on players that I have monitored/recommended previous to them joining City and to keep an eye on the progress of former loanees at my second team. My interest in the Forest game was more about how Arvin Appiah and Brennan Johnson got on for Forest, a couple of players I wouldn't have minded us taking on loan. |

Unlucky da sh** x Has definitely been a good few days. Just for balance on that reserve match the Dunderheads played in, that was the well known show jumper Harvey Smith aged about 10 rather than their sicknote midfielder Korey and those Forest "lads" included a couple of players that cost even more millions in transfer fees each than their shithead counterparts plus some internationals. As a sidenote for the older fan, anyone miss the football combination? Such a sham calling matches "U23" when there are so many older experienced players involved, and those old school reserve matches meant a lot more. |
